We believe you may take it as quite a compliment, that despite 'Teta four -score years you are still counted by the 'boys' as one of the 'boys' and that this 'night' when the ,`boys' could join with you in celebrat- ing your birthday, has been looked forward to with a great deal of en- thusiasm. "You have always been known as an industriors farmer and your farm ,and farming methods have been a credit to the Township; in which you have spent your life, and the good l'Clydes' that you raised have been sought in many parts of the country, las well as 'those good cows, Bob al- ways had and 'his beef cattle.' You have been always a friend to those in need, whether it was a neighbour or anyone who happened' along, and no one ever left your door in need of food or shelter. "Whereas the 7th concession has claimed you for a great number of 'years, we believe your early life was spent in a log house on the 5th among the Chesneys, Sproats, Archibalds, 'Wards. etc., and your fine character and geniality, developed in your youth, have grown during the years ;and the succeeding generations of ;those 'early days' still count you as 'one of the boys.'" Mr. Doig was. the recipient of a beautiful maroon leather loun in chair and footstool and a pipe, theg presentation being made by John Mc- Kay and Mervin Lane. Mr. Doig made 'a suitable reply, and short speeches were made by Hugh McMillan, Mont- gomery Patrick, Wm. P. Thompson, Robert •Strong and John McKay.

This co-operation is no less necessary to assist in organizing the employment market during the present critical period. Some manpower controls still remain. These are still law. They are aimed at assisting in organizing the employment market, Remaining controls are designed to help employers and workers—and actually regfiire only minor assistance from the public. YOU ARE URGED TO COMPLY WITH THE FOUR CONTROLS WHICH REMAIN: 1—Employers MUST notify the National Employ- ment Office of any need for workers, as soon as that need is known. 2—Where employers engage workers outside the National Employment Service they MUST notify the nearest NES Office within three days, that an employee has been engaged. (Form NSS 312 is provided for this purpose.) 3—Unemployed workers seeking employment MUST register with the National Employment Office if unemployed for seven consecutive days. 4—Generally speaking, any employer or em- ployee MITST give seven days' notice to the other party of any intention to terminate employment. (Form NSS 120 is still required.) Exceptions may be learned from the nearest NES Office. The partners to industry—employers and employees—should help the National Employ- ment Service to prornote a high level of employ - meat by complying with these simple rules. Only with public support can an employ- rnent service give full assistance to the com- munity. Make full use of • the Local Office of the National Employment Service. It is there to serve your needs, and those of the entire Community. N.E.S. 4 HIIMPHREY MITCHELL ''.. A.'.MACNAMARA''; Minister of,Lebour Deputy Minister
